The road is excellent and there are many<br \/>\ninteresting stops along the way. Somehow, driving downhill to Delhi seems easier and faster<br \/>\nthan driving up to Shimla on the same road. Also, when people are driving to Shimla, they<br \/>\ndon\u2019t usually have time to take stops but on the way back, there are lots of things that you<br \/>\ncan see and do if you have the time.<\/p>\n<h2>How can I go from Shimla to Delhi?<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/shimal-to-delhi-road-trip-1-300x214.png\" alt=\"shimla to delhi road trip\" width=\"688\" height=\"491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/shimal-to-delhi-road-trip-1-300x214.png 300w, https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/shimal-to-delhi-road-trip-1-768x548.png 768w, https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/shimal-to-delhi-road-trip-1.png 824w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 688px) 100vw, 688px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The best way to <strong>travel from Shimla to Delhi is via Highway 5, Highway 152<\/strong> <strong>and then<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Highway 44<\/strong>. This is the fastest route and is also called the \u201cAmbala Route\u201d but there are<br \/>\nother ways, which take a little longer but are more scenic and less congested.<\/p>\n<p>The second route is called<\/p>\n<p>the \u201c<strong>Yamunanagar Route\u201d<\/strong> and this <strong>takes you through Highway 5<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>and Highway 44.<\/strong> This route is more scenic and goes through many <strong>forests and wildlife<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>sanctuaries<\/strong>. This is the best route for nature lovers if you do not mind spending another hour<br \/>\nor two on your way to your destination.<\/p>\n<p>The third route takes even longer and goes via highway 7 and then NH 344. This is also<br \/>\ncalled the \u201cDehradun Route\u201d and takes you through hills and mountainous areas. It is perfect<br \/>\nfor thrill seekers who want to see new places and enjoy driving in the hills.<\/p>\n<h2>How much time will it take to go from Shimla to Delhi?<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Delhi to Shimla distance by road is about 350 Km<\/strong>, which can be easily covered in 7-8<br \/>\nhours if one takes the standard Ambala Route. Of course, the travel time depends on the<br \/>\nnumber of stops and detours you take along the way and the amount of time you spend at<br \/>\nthese stops.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Yamunanagar Route takes approximately 11-12 hours<\/strong> whereas the <strong>Dehradun Route<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>takes about 12-13 hours.<\/strong> As discussed, the Dehradun Route goes through winding<br \/>\nmountainous roads, which take a long time and is sometimes quite narrow, leading to<br \/>\nblockages and delays.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to stop between Shimla and Delhi?<\/h2>\n<p>The best thing about a road trip is that you can go at your own pace and stop wherever you<br \/>\nwant. Depending on the mood of the passengers and the time available, <strong>you can make any<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>number of stops between Shimla and Delhi.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Along the way, there are interesting <strong>eateries, rest stops and tourist places<\/strong> but there are also<br \/>\nmany scenic areas where one can park and take a break. City dwellers usually like to stop at<br \/>\nlush fields and quaint villages to get some interesting photos and large groups have to stop<br \/>\nmultiple times to make sure everyone is comfortable.<\/p>\n<p>Besides scenic areas and interesting roadside eateries, there are some popular places that<br \/>\npeople usually prefer to stop and see. These include the <strong>Wildlife Sanctuary in Chail<\/strong>, the<br \/>\nPurana Qila in Panipat, the Rock Garden in Chandigarh and much more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chail is a scenic and unspoiled destination with great views of the valley below and ample<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>natural beauty.<\/strong> It is only an hour or so from Shimla depending on the route you take and well<br \/>\nworth the visit. You can easily find a nice spot here for a quiet picnic where you can rest and<br \/>\ntake some pictures surrounded by nature.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Purana Quila in Panipat<\/strong> is also worth visiting. As you may know, Panipat is a historic<br \/>\nplace where three of the most important battles in Indian history were fought. The <strong>Purana<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Quila or Old Fort<\/strong> <strong>in the city<\/strong> tells of its ancient history and rich heritage. Depending on when<br \/>\nyou arrive, there are guides available here who can take you around and explain the history<br \/>\nand geography of the structure.<\/p>\n<p>The Rock Garden in Chandigarh is also a famous destination popular with Indian and<br \/>\nInternational tourists alike. Made of industrial waste and recycled building materials, the<br \/>\ngarden is an architectural triumph that laid the foundation of \u201cSustainable Living,\u201d which has<br \/>\nnow become very popular. Besides the Rock Garden, Chandigarh has a number of other<br \/>\nworthwhile attractions.<\/p>\n<p>One of the <strong>best places to stop for lunch is The Vivaan Hotel in Karnal<\/strong>. Instead of stopping at<br \/>\nroadside Dhabas and eateries, it is better to stop at an established hotel where one can get<br \/>\nproper food, clean restrooms and vital supplies to ensure a safe and smooth journey.<br \/>\nThe Vivaan Hotel is the <a href=\"https:\/\/thevivaan.com\/\"><strong>best resort in Karnal<\/strong><\/a> and is fully equipped with a wonderful food<br \/>\ncourt, restaurant and an activity area for travelers.
